the economy is built by the oil and gas industry. when you flip on a light switch, you think coal miner. when you get that utility bill, when it is high, you realize those people are not working in the coal mines. i support fracturing for oil. mount vernon, ill., he has been in the business and has never had a problem. no one here wants to harm the environment. what we want to make sure that we do is in a safe, thoughtful manner access the natural resources. lower utility bills from people around the nation, opportunities for a four year university when they come back from the university. 20 years ago we had 37 operating coal mines, but today we do not have 10. we see what is happening, where the unemployment rate is 4%. we know that we could bring down unemployment. we know that we can access resources in a safe manner. i want to make sure that every person in southern illinois who wants to work there, who wants to be in the coal mines, has the opportunity to be there and can provide for their families.

when they can go to work, they're paying into the economy. they're helping the economy grow. congressman murphy talks about a tax plan that doesn't make mathematical sense. he is looking at america and the most visible way. he's not looking at an america that can grow and have economic growth because we have a growth plan in place that is going to make our economy better. those people who are suffering and you are in poverty, we need to continue to take care of them. as i drew the difference between governor romney and myself, when he talked about those in poverty, i said they haven't chosen to be there. i would not cut our food stamp programs now because we need to make sure those folks can continue to be taken care of. but let's get them a job and get them back to work so families can progress. >> again, this is just about numbers. if you except this tax cut number, the only way to account for it is to have massive cut to these programs that do put people to work and grow jobs and take care people when they are out of work. you have to look at the work i have done. i've com

this is certainly a very difficult economy. you mentioned the vow to hire heroes act and the vern skills job act. certainly these are a step in the right direction. and again, everyone deserves credit for moving that forward. yet there is still a number of things we can do and will do in that area. on the other hand, we have to be careful. certainly, we want to do these efforts. we can't do those by mortgaging the futures of our children and grandchildren by borrowing money from people like china. we can do that. we can get that done and will get it done. the failure of the joint deficit committee has left us with the looming arbitrary cuts. those will be mentioned from up here and down there. i'm pleased that the house essentially passed a bill that said no, these impending cuts aren't going to affect military families and certainly i think that's all of our position. we'd like the administration to clarify that that is set in concrete. so again, certainly, as you said commander, we must make it clear that under no circumstanc

our economy is tourism. from late september to april, that is our economy. we could be, with some government funding, the solar capital of the country. i have lived through hurricanes, losing my power for weeks at a time, because the infrastructure is so poor. not a lot of people can afford solar, but if you drive from east to west coast, every light pole is solar power. if we could start a manufacturing here, we could bring costs down and people would invest in that. host: investment in solar energy has been a hot button in the political campaign. guest: absolutely, exemplified by a company called the solyndra. they received a loan and then filed for bankruptcy, which is not unusual when you talk about new developing technologies. it is a challenge for solar, particularly because i.t. is very expensive, if you don't have the government grants and support like they have in europe to encourage people to put those on their homes, you will not get the volume necessary to bring down the costs and make the tens of thousands of dollars of investment -- takes a lon
